Calling all tequila lovers: We see your spicy margs and refreshing palomas, and we raise you a new tequila that’s going to elevate your summer sips (and save you money on mixers).
PATRÓN debuted a first-of-its-kind release, EL CIELO, aka the smoothest tequila ever. And, yes, the name of this “prestige” (read: incredibly luxe) spirit means “heaven” in Spanish, so don’t expect anything less.
The new innovation is a silver tequila distilled four times—a rare feat in the tequila world, where agave is usually distilled only up to three times—to harness the plant’s natural sweetness.
It’s so smooth, in fact, that PATRÓN recommends serving it “on ice with a slice” to enjoy its sweet and fruit aroma. All you need? A large ice cube, PATRÓN EL CIELO, and a slice of citrus. Just pour the naturally sweet tequila over ice, add a slice (we recommend orange) et voilà—you’ve just whipped up what we’re dubbing the drink of summer. There are other ways to mix up PATRÓN EL CIELO too, like in a spritz (with ginger ale and chilled white or rosé wine) or in a tequila negroni with bitters and vermouth.
To sweeten the deal, the stunning bottle is bar cart–worthy all on its own. The beautiful glass bottle is outfitted with gold designs inspired by the volcanic tahona stone used to produce the tequila, plus agave fields and light found within the homeland of PATRÓN —the Jalisco Highlands of Mexico. This will be the conversation piece to get all your summer parties started.
